gstreamer: Split parsers for owned and borrowed views

Jan Alexander Steffens requested to merge heftig/gstreamer-rs:duplicate-view-accessors into main

When we have a view like Caps<&EventRef>, we can return a CapsRef borrowing from the wrapped EventRef. This way, the CapsRef we return can outlive the view itself.

This is in contrast to a Caps<Event> view which owns the Event. Here, the CapsRef we return cannot outlive the view.

gstreamer-rs 0.18 consolidated code and treated everything like the latter case. Fix this by duplicating the accessors for each case.

Fixes: #367 (closed)
